Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert broke his ribs mountain biking and was said to “wince” at a recent City Council meeting. If you’ve ever had broken ribs, you know “wince” is on the high side of an understatement.

In Arizona, former Prescott Valley Mayor Rick Killingsworth rides a mountain bike to keep his heart healthy and strong.

Mayor McGinn rides a street bike, but as a Northwest mountain biker familiar with Puget Sound winters, we can say this: Nothing off-road holds a candle to the challenges of riding through Seattle in December.

And although McGinn hasn’t suffered any riding accidents, it doesn’t mean that Mike won’t “wince” at the next City Council meeting he attends.
